 Topic: Wonderful cover - Bad album
Posted: April 23 2006 at 19:48 |
Silly thread: Is there any album you know that have a stunningly great album cover or artwork but that is just awfully bad? or An album which is really good but with a piece of crap as a cover?

A good album, bad cover is Acquiring the Taste. If I'd
